To prevent trolls, spammers, those who complain about the chat program and other undesirable internet trash, we require a valid email address as part of the signup. We do not sell/give/donate your email address to anyone, and we will send you email only in response to an action on your part, or notification from the forum of a message. To protect existing members, new members will be vetted: members not providing information that allows vetting will be placed under warning, and all posts checked before being allowed on the forums. This is simply because most spammers do not provide vettable information, and if you register without providing any information you look like a spammer to the staff, and get treated as one till the opposite is proved.. Tough rule, but it protects the members, and that is out primary aim.

Anyone complaining about the chat program not working will be blocked and banned from the website. Chat will work when it gets fixed. It is on the list, but it has a very very very low priority. No new members will be able to access chat at all.

We do not accept AOL email acounts. We will delete without question any registration attempted with an AOL email account..
